Check-list of additional taxa to the supplement flora of Turkey VIII. Istanbul J Pharm 47 (1): 30-44. ABSTRACT The eighth check-list of the series entitled “Check-list of Additional taxa to the Flora of Turkey” comprises a total of 152 taxa based on the data given in 133 papers published the period between December 2014-December 2016. Additionally taxa which have not been recorded neither in the 11 volumes of the Flora of Turkey nor in the seven previously published supplementary check-lists. With this paper the following are added to the Turkish flora: 127 taxa new to science and 25 taxa new records. Keywords: Additional taxa, Turkish flora, new species, new records INTRODUCTION Turkey is one of the most important temperature countries on earth in terms of plant diversity. The diversity of vascular plants of the country has been documented in the Flora of Turkey and the Eastern Aegean Islands edited by Prof. Peter H. Davis and published in nine volumes between 1965 and 1985. With the publication of this flora, so interest in Turkey’s rich plant diversity has been brought to the attention of Turkish and foreign botanists, and subsequent study has greatly increased our knowledge of the flora resulting in the addition of many new taxa. The identification of these additional taxa has necessitated the publication of the supplementary volumes to the Flora of Turkey vol. 10 in 1988 (Davis et al. 1988) with the eleventh supplemental volume in 2000 (Güner et al. 2000). The flora of Turkey continues to grow following publication of the 11th volume, and an additional 1196 new species were added either as a new species or new records in the periods up to December 2016. These check list have been published in a series paper by Özhatay et al. as Check list III, IV, V, VI VII and VIII (Özhatay and Kültür, 2006; Özhatay et al. 2009; 2011; 2013; 2015). Since 2000 (vol. 11) 853 papers about the flora of Turkey have been published and 1196 additional taxa have been recorded which were either new to science (888 taxa) or new to the Turkish flora (308 taxa). According to these data almost 74 taxa is added to the Turkish flora for each year. The all original publication of these taxa was subsequently drawn together by the authors as a collection housed in the library of the Department of Pharmaceutical Botany, Istanbul University. The aim of this paper is to pres- ent all published taxa added to the flora of Turkey during 2015 to 2017 with the missing records (14 papers with 24 taxa) in earlier check-lists. Since 1994 have been published eight check-list of additional taxa to the Turkish flora respectively (Table 1). The present list contains a total of 152 taxa, of which 127 taxa were added as new taxa to science (comprising 110 species, 12 subspecies, 3 varieties and 2 hybrid), whilst a further 25 known taxa have previously been unrecorded from Turkey (21 species, 2 subspecies and 2 hybrid). The genus Psylliostachys (Jaub. & Spach) Nevski (Plumbaginaceae) is new for Turkish flora. The four genera which have been recorded with the most taxa to the flora of Turkey are Centaurea (with 13 taxa), Crocus (with 8 taxa), Sanguisorba (with 7 taxa) and Allium (with 6 taxa) respectively (Figure 2).
